Good, thanks. I've uploaded it to unstable right now.

Thanks for the information. Note that adding a binary package in Debian
would push the package to binary-NEW anyway, and I suspect our FTP
Masters would not have accepted a new binary package made of an embedded
code copy.
That said, I'm quite surprised it's not an issue to circumvent feature
freezes that way…

As you might have noticed, I'm quite picky on embedded code copies; this
would not have happened anyway. :-)

This will only happen once ippusbxd has proper versioning (aka tags).
Also, I would certainly not mind sponsoring an upload to Debian unstable
that you would have prepared though.
Cheers,
